Genuine pace with Botanica finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged.
VICTORY'S GHOST (9) was too bad to be true last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Best figures measure up well and is sure to be there at the business end. LONERGY (5) has a solid record over this distance range with two wins and two placings from six attempts. Rock-hard fit for this and looms as the main danger. ASK ME MATE (2) resumes here but has revved up for this with two recent trials and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Should be involved in the finish. RED BEAUTY (4) strips fitter second-up from the spell and is sure to get a gun run for Wiggins from gate three. In the mix. BOTANICA (7) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,5,2,4.
